This is my third Air Fryer and first Cuisinart. I have found the one I will stick with! My first was too big and took too much counter space. Second was a bit small and I had to replace it because it was a dial timer and that snapped off. This one cooks well, ( just made Bacon in it) easy to use and it has a window and light! Ingenious! I’m able to check on it without opening. I highly recommend.
I was recently visiting a friend's place and discovered this beautiful Cuisinart Cook Fresh digital glass steamer in stainless steel. I'll be honest, I've owned various kitchen appliances before and some that were my top favorite but this product blew me away completely as it has my motto for life to eat healthier. I am able to cook grains(rice,buckwheat, oats and quinoa), seafood(shrimp, lobster, scallops, mussels), poultry (chicken), vegetables (broccoli,corn,zucchini, carrots, potatoes, green beans, asparagus), and manual mode(for pasta). I love the digital display that is easy to use and navigate through, not to mention the cooking book included(so helpful and fun for a mom of 3 boys who loves to cook!!). I love that all I have to do is pour clean water in the tank and place it in the back and turn it on. It's incredible smelling all the spices, garlic, onion, chives (if you place it on the bottom of the glass dish and in the tray placing the poultry or seafood) my kitchen smells amazing during the cooking process. In addition, steaming the variety of items I have tried is not only healthy, quick to make, no need to stand over the stove to cook (which means more time with my boys!!) and extremely easy to clean the glass lid and glass container as well as the stainless steel tray. I do wish the stainless steel tray was thicker in size and less bendable( just something I've noticed while hand washing it). My husband's favorite part is that the steam doesn't release up in the air and doesn't ruin our kitchen cabinets but instead the steam cooks inside leaving the protein or vegetables very soft and flavorful. In addition, we are able to easily reheat anything when needed. Doesn't take much space and easily clean up and put it away in the cabinet or leave it on the counter as my friend does. It's a classy, modern, and elegant piece! I honestly loved this so much I ordered a few for our family and highly recommend it for all our friends. It makes a great holiday gift or a special occasion! The only thing I would be considered with this machine is the plastic valve that is connected to the water reservere how long that would last (maybe needs a new design for just that portion). Something I have noticed after taking out the water reserve is that there is a tiny bit of water still in there and you must make sure to pour it out or it would cause mold and be far from a healthy option. Overall, Cuisinart you've managed to bedazzle me with this new invention!
Kinda overpriced especially when you only need the plastic top. They should sell the plastic piece by itself for like $5-$10. It’s a bummer when it breaks. For the $40 it cost you could almost buy a new coffee pot in a different brand of the same quality.
I like that I’m able to make him Hummus whenever. I feel like it whenever I crave it.
INCREDIBLE pizza!! I purchased this on a whim for my husband's birthday and it did NOT disappoint! As long as you have a fantastic dough recipe using 00 Flour and semolina on the pizza peel and bottom of dough (so it does not stick to anything), you have the recipe for a genuine and quick woodfire pizza! I use my own recipes but the recipes included are not too bad. The bottom line, this pizza oven works and cooks beautifully. I bake my pizzas for about 5 minutes on the highest temp, then turn it and bake another 2 minutes. You will have to feel it out depending on how you enjoy your pizzas. KEY: must use semolina on the bottom of the dough and on the pizza peel so nothing sticks. DO not submerge your pizza stone but brush off to keep clean once cooled down. We could eat pizza all day. This machine is a ROCKSTAR!! Happy eats!!
Update- Knocking this down to 1 star. part of the plastic on the handle cracked, and then broke off when I was inspecting it. I grill enough, maybe 4-5 times a month since getting these (so maybe 20 times or so) hand wash them, and store them inside. Yet they are coming apart already. Avoid. get something sturdy and avoid “fancy” looking tools. Original review below: It definitely seems like a nifty set at first, but after a few uses the tongs somehow shifted so that the ends don't meet correctly. It's a small issue, and one that I can live with, but you figure with the Cuisinart name, you'd get something a bit sturdier. Also, the grill glove is, inexplicably, right-handed only. I don't know about you, but I prefer using my dominant arm to be managing the food on the grill with the spatula, tongs, etc; so to use the glove I need to put it off and on as needed, or just use a third party ambidextrous glove.
I had a big glass container blender that I gave away. It took up too much storage space for my infrequent use and was heavy getting in and out of my cabinet. This blender is lightweight but very powerful. It ground up ice cubes into a fine slush in about 10 seconds. There were no chunks left, like my old blender did. The size of the container is plenty big enough and because it is plastic the whole unit is lightweight and easy for me to store. It also leaves a much smaller footprint so it is also easy to keep on my kitchen counter under my overhead cabinets. I was a little skeptical about the quality of this blender being made with plastic, but took a chance because it was a reputable brand. I am so glad I did because I love this blender.
The top plastic part broke after 2nd use. Customer service would not stand behind their product without a receipt. Offered a 20% discount on a new unit. Why on earth would I spend money on their poor quality product again?? Such a waste of money!
This is a fairly compact machine with a footprint equal to or smaller than most standard coffee makers. I like integrated grinder, water container, one-cup service and quick brew, as well as the option to use the insert for a pod (even if I never use it). Unlike some reviews, so far I have not had grinding spillage around the base of the grinder. I like that I have water and beans ready to go each morning. Just grind, install grinding cup, brew. Overall, this is a neat little machine, which I enjoy using. I used a grinder and 12-cup coffee maker for years, then stopped when I didn't want to grind and brew for just one or two cups - plus they both took up much-needed counter space. Following are some points to consider before purchasing. These are why this is a 4-star and not a 5-star review. See photos, too. Point 1: I discovered that my 12 oz mug will overflow if I use the 12 oz cup setting to brew (had to stop the brew cycle), so I use the 10 oz setting to fill this mug. This was a surprise, since the first-use cleaning only shot out 8 oz of water (running water only without grounds through at 10 oz setting per instructions). This is not necessarily a negative - I just had to adjust my thinking/choice depending on the mug I use. Point 2: Grind is not controllable - no variety of settings. Sadly, I don't find the coffee strong or flavorful enough, I assume this is due to the default grinding amount and grit. I have to add a bit of instant coffee (!) to strengthen it. I assume that a stronger coffee bean/darker roast will make a stronger cup, but will have to wait until I've used up the beans I have before testing this. I don't use pods (expensive and strength can't be determined with them). I prefer fresh ground coffee (and even like Taster's Choice instant). Point 3: Grounds cup storage. The cup into which the beans are ground fits nicely into the convenient side storage; HOWEVER, the optional pod insert is too large to store in the same place - the little door won't shut. Since I don't use that pod insert and only use the grinding cup insert, I want to store the pod neatly. This storage should have been sized appropriately to accommodate either. I keep the cleaned grinder cup stored under the grinder. Fortunately, I use an appliance cover, so it will keep out any dust. I will update this review once I've tried other beans, or if anything changes in the future.
When my old coffee pot broke and was discontinued I was sure I would not find one as good as it was. I was wrong ! I have used this coffee maker for 2 months and have been totally happy with it. The Stainless Carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours. It has a X-HOT function function, which I measured with a laser @ 200° F. The display is easy to read and the controls are simple to set. I never change settings so its 1 button on. The basket is easy to clean, I use paper filters, not the included washable filter. Several times I have found out that if you forget to put the basket in and put the filter in alone the coffee does not spill all over and it makes coffee as normal. Bonus feature ! Just don't try to sneak a cup ! I have had no problems with the coffee maker at all. Highly recommended. I love the Cuisinart brand.
This belgian waffle maker makes huge waffles. The highest setting makes very crisp waffles.
These knives are sharp and work well. Four of the chopping and cutting knives have cracks in the handles only after six months. We never put them in the dishwasher. They are hand wash only. The steak knives haven’t cracked yet. For the price I guess I’m somewhat not surprised but I don’t understand if I’m taking care of them like they say to in the instructions, why are the handles cracking?
It works great, but I've just used it for one month, and I already get the stain on the bottom of the pan. I have tried every way, but I can't remove it.
Cleans up beautifully! The large matching dutch oven, now bought to bake crusty Italian bread. Daughter is very happy !!!
Looks great and works exceptionally well except the milk frother is lame, very lame. In the instruction booklet, you state to fill the reservoir. I only saw the one in back of the unit. I had to call your help desk to help me find where to place water to make a full pot of coffee. I should have watched the videos on YouTube.
